Iraq is back at the World Cup after 40 years.
First appearance since 1986. Only their second ever.
The group is brutal: Norway, France and Senegal.
But if Iraq can stay organized and steal one moment, the comeback story gets very interesting.
Part 35 of 48 with Kelcey from @High_Low_Sports.
World Cup agenda:
Will actively root for: 🇺🇸 🇸🇻 🇨🇩
Will actively root against: 🇲🇽 🇨🇦
Won't mind if they do well: 🇳🇴 🇸🇳 🇯🇵 🇺🇾 🇹🇷 🇭🇷
Won't mind if they win it: 🇪🇸 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇦🇷 🇵🇹 🇧🇷
Uruguay is where old World Cup history meets a dangerous new generation.
1930 champions. 1950 champions. Still built to defend, press, fight and punish mistakes.
Group H gives them Saudi Arabia, Cape Verde and then Spain in a massive finale.

Senegal opens the 2026 World Cup against France.
Again.
In 2002, they shocked the defending champions and reached the quarterfinals.
Now Sadio Mane leads a team trying to prove Senegal is not just dangerous, but established.
Part 34 of 48 with Kelcey from @High_Low_Sports.
France is not just chasing wins in 2026.
They are chasing legacy.
1998 champions. 2018 champions. Finalists again in 2022.
Now Mbappe leads Les Bleus into a group with Senegal, Iraq and Norway.
This is not about surviving the group.

Saudi Arabia already shocked the world once.
Now they have to prove 2022 was not a fluke.
Uruguay and Spain are a brutal start, but if they survive, Cape Verde could mean everything.
Salem Al-Dawsari is still the captain, creator and match-winner to watch.
Part 31 of 48 with Kelcey from @High_Low_Sports.
Cape Verde is making history before the first whistle.
First-ever World Cup appearance. Small island nation. Massive football dream.
Then comes the group: Spain, Uruguay and Saudi Arabia.
Brutal welcome party.
But one moment can make an underdog unforgettable.
Part 30 of 48 with Kelcey from @High_Low_Sports.
Spain is not entering 2026 with hope.
They are entering with expectation.
Control the ball. Dictate the tempo.
Make opponents chase.
Then let Lamine Yamal bring the chaos.
Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay are waiting in Group H.
Part 29 of 48 with Kelcey from @High_Low_Sports.
New Zealand is still chasing its first World Cup win.
But remember 2010: three matches, three draws, unbeaten, including a result against defending champion Italy.
Now they get Iran, Egypt and Belgium.
If Chris Wood helps them steal points early, Group G gets chaotic fast.
Part 28 of 48 with Kelcey Coyne from @High_Low_Sports.
Iran has become a World Cup regular.
Now they need the breakthrough.
Seventh appearance. Still chasing a first trip beyond the group stage.
New Zealand is massive. Belgium tests the structure. Egypt could decide everything.
Part 27 of 48 with Kelcey Coyne from @High_Low_Sports.
Egypt is still chasing its first-ever World Cup win.
At the halfway point of our 48-team preview, Kelcey Coyne from @High_Low_Sports checks in as the halftime substitution.
Belgium. New Zealand. Iran.
And maybe one final big World Cup chance for Mohamed Salah.
Halftime substitution for the 48-team World Cup Preview.
Hector Flores got us through the first half. Now Kelcey Coyne from @High_Low_Sports checks in for the final run.
Part 25: Belgium.
Golden generation. Closing window. Kevin De Bruyne still pulling the strings.
Tunisia is not here to entertain.
They are here to fight.
Seventh World Cup appearance. Still chasing a first knockout-stage berth. Organized, disciplined and tough to break down.
They shocked France in 2022.
Now they get Sweden, Japan and the Netherlands.
Part 24 of 48 with @InsertNameFC.
Sweden does not need the spotlight.
They just need one opening.
13th World Cup appearance. A history built on discipline, structure and physicality.
With Viktor Gyökeres leading the line, Sweden can make this group uncomfortable fast.
Tunisia. Netherlands. Japan.
